Synthesis of N-(perfluoro-t-butyl)pyrazoles from hexafluoroacetone azine by trifluoromethyl group migration
Abstract
The synthesis of 1-(nonafluoro-t-butyl)-3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles (3) from hexafluoroacetone azine (1) and alkoxyacetylenes is described; the reaction involves an azomethine imide intermediate which rearranges by apparent [1,4] migration of a trifluoromethyl group.
